Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Kodiak Power Cakes mix Buttermilk or Flapjack & Waffle, or any pancake mix
  • 1/2 cup full-fat cottage cheese 4% or higher; if not, add 1 tablespoon melted butter or coconut oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • Optional: a little vanilla bean paste

Method
 

  1. Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend on high until completely smooth, about 45 to 60 seconds. Scrape down the sides and blend again if you still see cottage cheese.
  2. Let the batter rest 2 to 3 minutes while your waffle iron preheats to medium-high.
  3. Spray the iron and pour about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of batter per waffle. Close and cook 3 to 4 minutes, until the steam from the sides slows or the light turns off.
  4. Open the iron gently. If the waffle does not release, close it another 60 seconds. Move to a wire rack and repeat, re-spraying before each pour.
  5. Serve right away, or cool completely on a rack before storing.

Notes

  Use 4% cottage cheese for the best browning and flavor. With 2%, add a tablespoon of melted butter or coconut oil. Any pancake or waffle mix works.
